CITEE DIRECTIONS 1. Vide a ruling delivered on 17/12/2025, the respondent was ordered to avail the documents he used to file the succession cause herein. 2. As stated in the said ruling, the respondent hold a grant ad colligenda bona which was erroneously confirmed. 3. The respondent has not availed any documents to show that he obtained a full grant. 4. It is thus my finding that the grant herein was obtained unprocedurally. The respondent through mischief misled the court to issue a full grant and then proceeded to have it confirmed. 5. I find good grounds to annul the grant herein. 6. Therefore, the following orders do issue: a. The certificate of confirmation of grant issued herein and all subsequent rectified certificates of grant are hereby annulled. b. The transfer/transmission of the immovable property forming the estate herein to the heirs is hereby revoked and the property herein is to revert to the name of the deceased. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/5734/eng@2026-04-23 1
